Some gardening gloves are tools. These are something different — closer to wearing a small piece of botanical history while you potter through your borders. The Asteraceae print on these gloves is taken from botanical illustrations dating to around 1810, drawn from the RHS Lindley Collections — one of the world's most important horticultural archives. Two centuries old, and now hand-picked to wrap around your wrists on a Sunday afternoon in the cutting garden.

Set against a soft sage green background, the jewel-bright blooms — China asters, coreopsis, and other Asteraceae family flowers — celebrate the late-summer and autumn colour that holds the garden together when the early roses have gone over. They're also some of the most important pollinator plants of the late season, which feels right: a glove that nods quietly to the bees and butterflies as you go about the work that supports them.

Made by Burgon & Ball, the Sheffield toolmaker who've been making garden tools since 1730, as part of their RHS-endorsed "Gifts for Gardeners" collection. Supplied to us through our partners at AllotMate, who curate proper, well-made tools for gardeners and allotmenteers who'd rather buy once.

The design

The Asteraceae family is one of the most diverse and rewarding plant groups in the cottage garden — and one of the most important for late-season pollinators:

  • China asters and coreopsis are the signature flowers in the print, with their bright, daisy-like blooms in pinks, oranges, and yellows
  • The botanical illustrations are hand-picked from the RHS Lindley Collections, c.1810 — the kind of antique botanical art that costs serious money in framed prints
  • The soft sage green background grounds the jewel-bright flowers and stops the design from feeling busy
  • The whole effect is celebratory rather than fussy — the resilience and radiant colour of late-season cottage garden flowers, captured on something you'll actually use

It's the kind of design that gets noticed — by visitors who admire your gloves, and by you in the small daily moments when a beautiful object brings a small lift to ordinary work.

What makes them work

Beautiful design is no use if the gloves don't function. Burgon & Ball have built genuinely thoughtful working features into these:

  • Cushioned palm — proper protection for everyday garden work, reducing hand fatigue during longer sessions
  • Gathered wrist — close-fitting cuff that keeps soil, mulch, and small debris from finding their way down your sleeve
  • Soft yet tough fabric with built-in stretch — flexible enough for fiddly tasks like deadheading and tying, durable enough to take repeated use
  • Snug, flexible fit — moves naturally with your hand rather than sliding around as you work
  • Machine-washable at 30°C — significantly more practical than most workwear gloves. Pop them in with the next dark wash and they come out fresh for next time

That last point is worth dwelling on. Most gardening gloves can't go in the washing machine — the construction or coatings can't take it. These can, which means they stay looking nice rather than gradually accumulating a season of soil into the fabric.

Sizing

These are a universal women's fit, size 8.5 (a glove length of around 23.5cm tip to cuff) — equivalent to a UK women's medium. They suit average to slightly broader women's hands, and many smaller men's hands as well thanks to the stretch fit.

If you have particularly small or particularly broad hands, our Briers range may offer a more precise fit. But for most women's hands, the universal sizing here works comfortably.

As a gift

This is one of the loveliest gardening gifts you can give someone — practical enough to be used, beautiful enough to be appreciated, and rooted in proper horticultural heritage rather than novelty. Particularly thoughtful for:

  • A gardening friend with an eye for the beautiful — anyone who chooses kit on aesthetics as well as function will love these
  • Mother's Day, birthdays, Christmas — perennially difficult gift moments solved with a properly thoughtful piece of garden kit
  • A new gardener just starting out — these say "this is going to be lovely, take your time"
  • An older gardener who'd rather be given something pretty than something purely functional
  • Pair with a packet of cottage garden seeds for a complete small gift

Looking after them

The machine-washable construction makes care genuinely easy:

  • Shake out and brush off visible soil before washing
  • Machine wash at 30°C — ideally with similar colours rather than bright whites
  • Air dry away from direct heat — the printed fabric will fade quickly under tumble dryers or strong sun
  • Avoid bleach or fabric softeners — both can damage the print and the stretch fabric
  • Store flat or hung gently rather than scrunched up

Treated this way, the print stays vivid and the gloves keep their lovely look for many seasons.

About Burgon & Ball and the RHS Lindley Collections

Burgon & Ball have been making garden tools in Sheffield since 1730, drawing on the city's centuries-old expertise in steel and craft. Their RHS-endorsed "Gifts for Gardeners" collection draws on the RHS Lindley Collections — one of the most significant horticultural libraries and archives in the world, containing thousands of botanical illustrations and historical garden materials. We're proud to stock pieces from this collaboration; using two-hundred-year-old botanical art to decorate practical garden kit is the kind of small cultural project that suits our shop exactly.

Amazing - Stop Scrolling and Buy This Pillow
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
I have been an Amazon customer ever since the very beginning, and this is my first review. Not because I haven’t purchased tons of amazing things (and a few bad ones), just never felt the need. However, I researched pillows for longer than I care to admit, and decided on this one. I’ve had it for about six months and absolutely love it. No lie, I genuinely look forward lying my big head on it after a long day. I am a side sleeper, but flip flop all around through the night and it’s great in every position. Pros: Stays nice and cool, which is soothing regardless of the time of year. Has a sort of quilted textured pattern on the zip up cover, gives it a luxury feel, that breaths nicely even when a pillow case is added. The fill is fully adjustable to your preference. I knew it came with extra filling but was worried it would not be enough. Wrong. It was very full and I ended up taking some out until it was perfect. It comes vacuum sealed and suggests it may take some time to fully take shape. However, I found it to be about 90% almost instantly and was sleeping on it a couple hours later. There was no unpleasant scent sometimes associated with memory foam items. The foam itself is very nice, a mix of what appears to be shredded and cotton candy cloud like. Very brilliant idea, as it is somehow supportive, soft and firm all at once. The affordability of this pillow compared to some of the others in this category can’t be overstated. Oh, and the packaging was very thoughtfully and securely done. If you are like me, an over thinker, I would suggest just taking this for a spin. It’s amazing. I’m not a bot, or working for the company. I’m just truly satisfied, love this pillow, and have been sleeping great.

It's the perfect pillow!
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
I purchased this pillow specifically for its customizable fill feature, which allows you to add or remove stuffing to suit your personal comfort needs. Due to the unique curvature of my cervical spine—forward at the neck rather than backward—I require a soft, semi-flat pillow rather than one that is thick or firm. Additionally, I often experience ear discomfort by morning, so a gentler surface is essential. Upon adjusting the fill, I was pleasantly surprised by the generous amount of stuffing included. There was enough to fill an additional pillowcase, and I estimate it could easily create four to five more pillows. The ability to modify the pillow’s firmness at any time is an outstanding feature that makes it adaptable for a wide range of preferences and sleep styles. This pillow has exceeded my expectations in both comfort and versatility. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a personalized sleep experience.

Good quality pillows overall
Size: King (Pack of 2), Color: White
Got a set of these for my wife and myself as we were struggling with our old pillows. These have some really good qualities and some things we'd like to see changed. First, the good: These are look and feel like they are high quality and made with good materials. The foam itself has a very nice feel to it. We love the fact they are adjustable to add or remove foam. They come with a pretty substantial amount already in the pillow. We appreciate the CertiPur certification. Now the improvements or changes we'd like to see: The foam, while feeling great, doesn't bounce back well if you scrunch your pillows, and so every day you have to fluff and reshape the pillow, moreso than some other memory foam pillows we've owned. One side of the pillow is cooled and you can feel that even through the pillow case, and that's a great thing. However, one side is not cooled and we'd have preferred if both sides were made of the cooling material. Overall, these are good pillows and we are not disappointed with the purchase. They are not, however, our perfect pillows (which do seem hard to find), and at some point in the future will probably make their way to the guest bedroom. We would rate them as some of the better pillows we've tried and feel most people would probably like them.

Perfect Pillow
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
These are the best pillows ever. You can adjust the firmness or softness to whatever you want. For years i used a soft latex pillow , which you cant get anymore. I will never use another pillow. I have purchased 6 of these after the first one. You pick your own comfort level. Best ever. No more neck aches.

Hallelujah… finally, I found the right pillow!!!
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
I have spent a lot of money searching for the right pillow. I recently tried to Tempur-pedic that cost twice with this pillow cost. Tempur-pedic flattened out. I’ve had this pill for a few weeks now and it works wonders. I am a paraplegic. You can have a lot of neck problems. I love the fact that this pillow is adjustable. I immediately saw it was too stuffy and took a bunch out. It works perfect so glad I didn’t spend money on a $200 purple pillow. I read a lot of reviews and there were a lot of complaints about the odor. Mine did smell funny when it came out of the box. I immediately threw it in the dryer with a few bounce fabric sheets came out smelling fine. Pillows are a very individual thing, but I think for 40 bucks this pillow is worth a try. I’m really enjoying mine about one of those silk pillowcases to go over it and it sleeps cool and comfortable. Best wishes in your search for the right pillow. Update: I’ve been using this pillow several months and it continues. Give me a good night rest pain-free.. well worth the money. UPDATE: I have been using this pillow for three months and it still works great. It does not flat out or get hot..
